One day while bored and hungry, my friends and I were discussing what would be the most entertaining cookies we could possibly make at home. We already made leather daddy gingerbread men, so we needed something new. Then my gaming pal Brian B suggested Binding of Isaac. He nailed it. Perfect suggestion. Their heads were already round. The game is terrifying. We are all kinda nerdy. So, we had to do it.

So, I called my chef pal Sara Whittlesey and asked her to help us make Binding of Isaac Rebirth sugar cookies with one caveat - we have to make everything from scratch! So, almost everything you see was done with a simple rolled cookie dough and simple royal icing made from powdered sugar, egg whites, water, and food coloring. We did cheat a little and used a store bought bottle of black cookie icing for some of the piping work. Watch the short video below to see decorate one of the cookies.

Other than Sara, I also need to thank Brian B. and Tyler S. for their gaming and cookie design advice. Between the two of them, they have wasted more than six hundred hours playing Rebirth on Steam. And thanks to Brian Ballard for helping make the video and taking pics! Also, here's a rolled sugar cookie recipe and a royal frosting recipe in case you wanna try this yourself!

Hands down, Sick of Sarah is the best all girl rock band in the country right now. Of course, the fact that their current line up is all gay makes everything so much more awesome for the LGBT community. For the first time in their decade long career, they are self-releasing their music. New EP Anthem is due outon June 30th. Honestly, I wish more artists would start doing this. I would much rather they keep the lion's share of the funds they generate from their labor of love rather than some label which uses artists solely as a means to potentially make money.

Take a listen to preview rockin' tracks "Rooftops" and "Blind." They more than prove that the Anthem EP is worth purchasing when it comes out! Also, be sure watch their YouTube tour diary. It's pretty entertaining.

I adore the work of artist/illustrator Lucas We. He seamlessly blends a multitude of different genres of art into his own unique style that all at once represents everything that is good and everything that is awful about modern society. Lucas was born in Argentina. His father was a boxer and his mother a seamstress. He currently lives in Paraguay where his work is sought after by everyone from major corporations and government agencies to tiny indie rock bands and nightclub promoters. And he finds a way to please them all. For example, check out the Learn Without Fear anti-bullying comic he illustrated for a joint initiative between the Deputy Minister of Youth and the Collective Jopara, with the support of the Ministry of Education and Plan Paraguay.

When I sent Lucas an email asking if we could display his work, I got back this message, "I do not speak English but it would be a great posting my stuff." This is more than fine, Lucas We's work speaks for itself!

Be sure to check out all the art and videos below. If you would like to explore more on your own, visit Lucas We's Tumblr, Behance, and be sure to check out his street art on Facebook!

Almost two months ago, The Gay Sweater made its debut and took the world by storm! You can read our original post about it here.For those not in the know, It's a sweater knit from 100% donated human hair from LGBTQ participants!

All too often, social media sensations are a quick flash in the pan and we never get to see the results of what all the publicity brought! So, finally, someone made a follow up video showing us what has happened with the project in the last two months! It's pretty fun! Take a look.

If you missed this first time around and feel like donating a few dollars to their cause, you can do so here!
